I understand what you're saying, social media runs on anger to get that engagement, getting those clicks. There does not seem to be a single site that is ruled my reactions, even Mastodon and Lemmy push having the correct opinions. Due to all of tue deletions, both Lemmy and Mastodon will never grow, never catch on, and there is no future in them. As bad as Twitter is, users are not punished for having the wrong view. Mastodon is a wonderful site, the censorship is why Mastodon will forever be nothing.

The one big thing that I see would drasticly change both the internet and the real world is if there is strict protection of offensive opinions. If someone is not insulting anyone but express a completely diffetent view on a topic, it harms nobody by someone taking a contrary position during a discussion. It seems that people van't deal in nuances, everything gets politized and label, and those labels are always a marker of "Those people have the wrong opinion and they don't have the correct belief like we do, we know better than them."

What you say about a morbid curiosity to see the affects of an accident, I don't. When I'm out and see an ambulance going at full speed, I silently start praying while I continue on and pray for whoever that ambulance is going to help, asking for healing, recovery, and to be made whole again. I'm nt bothered when I'm out if someone has a stupid attitude, and if someone's visibly emotional, check on them and see if there is anyway to be of service to them in their moment of grief.

All I'm talking about is having a heart for humanity, and taking an interest in other people's life and well being, eventually it will come around and someone will go out of their way to care for you because they are interested in see you doing well or being successful in your own life.
